review 1: Not sure if it's because I grew up in the area and camped in the everglades when I was younger, or because I later lived for many years in the Ft. Lauderdale area where this book is set, but I loved it. Balzo did a terrific job capturing the background as a tourist might discover the Everglades. The idea of the writer's conference and the half built train tracks running through the glades parallel to Alligator Alley was brilliant. It made the setting for this mystery every bit as good as Agatha Christie's original one. Of course there was laugh out loud (break the tension) humor, which is Balzo's trademark. The faux Christie characters were colorful and believable in this setting. It's my favorite Maggie Thorsen Mystery so far!
review 2: YUK! Because this sto... morery took place away from the coffeehouse, much of the book was regulated to the introduction of new places + people--TOO MUCH! It took several times putting the book down and picking it back up [due to snow I had no other read and was forced to abandon or else] when I had FINALLY gotten thru 3/4 of the book, it took off. if the weather would have been different--I would have returned the book to the library!
